The Amazon Studios announced a few days ago.
First of all, a documentary about her own life and her athletic career is due. "I have a lot of stories I'd like to tell - including a sequel of my own," WIlliams is quoted as saying.
"Serena turned her sport on its head and became one of the most inspiring athletes, entrepreneurs and women of her generation who is admired not only for her incomparable skills on the pitch, but also for her commitment to the community," said Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios.
There are already some documentaries about Williams - for example the film Venus and Serena from 2012 and the documentary Serena from 2016, which mainly deals with Serena's near-grand slam from 2015.
